Legacy 40 Lite.

The plane is coming along very well. I've molded the top decks rather than carve them from blocks as the blocks are always heavier. This being electric powered it doesn't need the bulk to absorb vibration. The bottom covering was 3/16 I used 1/16 instead. The elevators are lighter the fin/rudder are thinner, the electric mount and battery box are lighter than the engine stuff. Brodak used thinner balsa for the fuselage sides. If it comes out under 50 ounces I will consider it a seccess.
